Buckets of Blooms - Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Moments Release

Good morning! I'm back today with a couple more cards using the BRAND NEW Beautiful Moments Release from Simon Says Stamp! I'm obviously feeling ready for spring and ALL the flowers - in case you didn't already notice! Today's colors are bold, bright, and happy!

The main set I used is the Wildflower Bucket die. It was super relaxing to just sit and die cut tones of flowers, then assemble them all together. I used a mix of Doll Pink, Cotton Candy, Sunshine, Lemon Chiffon, Green Leaf, and Soft Navy to cut the flowers and greenery. The pail I cut from some metallic cardstock in my stash that I had gotten with an older Simon Says Stamp card kit - but couldn't find on the store anymore, so I have a feeling it's not around anymore unfortunately! But I linked up a couple silver metallic cardstock options below that would be a good substitute! The handle was cut from Smoke and Black cardstocks. I used the new Fanfare Embossing Folder on some white cardstock, and tore the edge to add a little border at the bottom to ground the scene, and added the buckets before tucking in TONS of flowers and greenery into each of them. Finished off with sentiments from the new Reverse Beautiful Friend sentiment strips! Here is a closer look at the two of these:

Birthday Window Flowers - Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Moments Release

Hello! I'm super excited to be stopping by with my first card with the BRAND NEW Beautiful Moments Release from Simon Says Stamp! I used a sweet little set that is near and dear to my heart, because my daughter, Katie, designed it! I so love how it turned out, and had fun creating this card with it!

The set is called Budding Blossoms, and is part of the Rainbow Splash collection. It is a tiny set, but has so many fun possibilities! I started off by stamping lots of images from the set on watercolor paper, then coloring everything in with Altenew watercolors in a bright, happy, spring color palette. I die cut all the images out once they had fully dried. Next, I grabbed an older die - Window - and cut several from black cardstock. I blended a couple bits of Butter ink on my card base, then layered over the top of those with Tin Tile stencil and a bit of Zest ink for some tone on tone texture. I layered the windows over that with liquid glue, then arranged all my die cut and watercolored images with foam adhesive. I added sentiments in fun angles, stamping with my MISTI for perfect placement, then added a few little bees and ladybugs, and finished off with a few coordinating Butter Dazzling Gems for sparkle! I had some leftover bits and pieces, so I decorated a little coordinating envelope to use them all up! Here are lots more photos of this finished card and envelope set:

Fluttering Hey Friend - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! There is a new release coming tomorrow from Simon Says Stamp - but I'm sneaking in one last card for the month with some previous releases! I love a crisp outline image, and a bit of soft stenciling is super fun as well!

I started off by doing some soft ink blending in the bottom right corner using the Tin Tile stencil and a bit of Ballerina ink. Next, I stamped the large main image from Make My Heart Flutter so that it went a bit off the edges of the cardstock and overlapped on the area where the stenciling faded out. I stamped a dainty sentiment from the same stamp set, and rounded a corner of that panel off, then mounted with Big Momma foam adhesive on a cardbase created with coordinating Spellbinders Blush cardstock that also had the same corner rounded off. I stamped the extra two little butterflies in black and die cut, adhering with liquid glue and leaving the wings floating free for dimension, then finished off with a few coordinating Glitter Enamel drops! Here are more photos of this finished card:

Layered Rose Friend Birthday Cards - Simon Says Stamp

Hello! Just popping by today to share a couple of cards using some pretty supplies from Simon Says Stamp - I especially love that beautiful floral stencil!

I started off by stenciling the beautiful Elegant Rose stencil in two different color combos - Butter, Zest, Honey, Tidepool, and Aegean for one color combo, and then Peachy, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Cabbage, and Artichoke for the other. I hadn't had a chance to use the coordinating dies yet, and I love the extra fun those added! I then added some Fog cardstock cut to fit inside my A2 cardbase, rounding off one corner, and adding some white splatters before adhering it down. I used the Wirework Hearts embossing folder on a panel of white cardstock, then tore it diagonally in half before adhering with foam adhesive. I added the florals, using liquid glue for the bottom part, and foam adhesive to support the upper portion on each one. I heat embossed a sentiment from Love and Friendship Plaque Slides stamp set and then die cut with a Basic Circles die. FUN TIP: for crisp white heat embossing, stamp in white pigment ink, then heat emboss with white embossing powder. I love how well it works! Finishing touch on these cards was a few coordinating gems in Peachy and Butter! Here is a closer look at each of them:

Hey Girl Sunset Card - Simon Says Stamp

Hello! Today I'm dreaming of tropical destinations it would appear! I saw a fun image on Pinterest that inspired me to create this clean and graphic ocean sunset scene - also a great way to use up some colored cardstock scraps! And how fun are those sentiments?!? All supplies are from Simon Says Stamp - keep reading to see how this card came together!

I already mentioned I saw a fun image on Pinterest that inspired me (you can see it HERE). I pulled out my own choices of colored cardstock - using Lipstick, Orange Peel, Creamsicle, Bright Yellow, Banana, Lemon Chiffon, Surf Blue, Audrey Blue, and Peacock. I cut thin strips, then adhered them from top to bottom, overlapping each one for a layered and dimensional effect. Once I had them all done, I blended a bit of Fawn ink around the edges to add some shading and interest, then splattered with White Splatter. While that dried, I die cut the Hey Girl sentiment from white and black cardstock, and stamped and die cut a secondary sentiment from Through the Window. I trimmed the main panel down, matted with a bit of black cardstock, and then adhered to a white cardbase, added my sentiments with foam adhesive, and then finished off with a sparkly row of Sunbeam Gems for some shine on the sun! Here are more photos of this finished card:
